With Thanks – CD Swanson
In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)
Today, while eating breakfast, I got lost in a wonderful collage of memories concerning former colleagues, and dear friends, I was blessed to have worked with and known. We worked cohesively in every aspect as a team and always for the betterment of the residents in the nursing home.
I’m thankful to God for so many things, each and every day of my life. For the past, present, and future…But, today I felt the blessings in full accord, and in abundance. The wonderful ladies whom I worked so closely with, brought joy to others. As of this writing…most of them have since been called home to the LORD, where I’m sure they received their crowns and a seat at the LORD’s table, after all of their beautiful acts of decency, love and compassion. It was all part of His perfect timing, preordaining our steps…bringing us into the realm of where we should be according to His plans.
Stop and take the time to thank Him. Look up and smile and know He has His hands all over your heart as He guides you, and leads you. During your travels, whether it be with family, or friends, take some time to sharpen each other’s countenance today.
The precious moments I shared with my beloved friends, and colleagues, will always be in my heart, the joy and purpose, working side-by-side, along with the peace of knowing we were helping others, is indelibly etched into my soul.
But that was then, and this is now…so while we’re here on earth, we still have a purpose to fulfill God’s plan. So be vigilant, follow the Spirit, and create new memories, and do it all for the glory of God!
“Father God, thank You, for Your blessings in all that we do, according to Your plan, and will for our lives, today, and always, all glory and honor are Yours Almighty Father, now and forever, in Jesus name, Amen.”
